Legal
Terms of service
The terms for using this site, including the bits that genuinely matter: the limits of our advice and the safety disclaimer.
Scope
Agreement
By using psiandhose.com you agree to these terms. The site is published by Magoo Media Group; if you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.
These terms cover this website only. Retailers you reach through links here have their own terms, and your purchase is a contract with them rather than with us.
The important part
What our content is
Editorial information for general guidance, built from manufacturer-published specifications and published engineering references. It is not professional engineering advice, not electrical advice, and not a substitute for the documentation that came with your equipment.
We have not bench-tested any product on this site. Every specification is the figure its manufacturer publishes, dated to September 2026 and linked on the page. Manufacturers revise spec sheets, so if a figure here disagrees with the manufacturer's current sheet, the manufacturer's figure is the correct one.
Our scores are computed from published specifications by a formula set out on our methodology page. They are an editorial weighting of documented figures, not a test result and not a prediction of how long a product will last.

Safety
A compressed air system is a pressure vessel connected to hoses and tools. Tanks that are never drained corrode from the inside. Hoses rated below the pressure they carry can fail. Compressed air directed at skin or eyes causes serious injury. Air tools are loud enough to damage hearing - one impact wrench on this site publishes 99 dBA.
Follow the documentation that came with your equipment, use eye and hearing protection, drain your tank, and never exceed a component's published pressure rating. Where our pages carry figures like a filter's maximum operating pressure, those are there for a reason.
Electrical work - adding a circuit, installing a 240V outlet, changing a breaker - is governed by the National Electrical Code and in most places requires a licensed electrician and a permit. We publish compressor voltage and current figures so you can take them to an electrician. We do not publish wiring guidance and are not qualified to.
You are responsible for how you use information from this site. We are not liable for injury, damage or loss arising from it.
Commercial terms
Affiliate relationships
This site earns commission through the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you buy through a link here we receive a commission from the retailer at no extra cost to you. Full details are on our affiliate disclosure page.
We publish no prices, so nothing on this site should be taken as a price quote or an offer to sell. Check the current price at the retailer before buying.
Availability, specifications and pricing are the retailer's and the manufacturer's to change at any time without telling us.
Standard, but true
No warranty
The site is provided as is. We work hard on accuracy - it is the whole editorial position - but we do not warrant that every figure is current or error-free, and we ask readers to report errors precisely because we expect some.
We do not warrant that the site will be available without interruption, or that any recommendation will suit your particular circumstances. A compressor that clears a published demand figure may still not suit your garage, your circuit or your patience.
Liability
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Magoo Media Group is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages arising from your use of this site or from any product you buy through it. Product defects, warranty claims and returns are matters for the manufacturer and the retailer.
Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
Content ownership
Intellectual property
The text, tables, scoring rubric and original analysis on this site are the property of Magoo Media Group. You are welcome to quote a passage or a figure with a link back to the page it came from - citation is how a reference site is supposed to work.
You may not republish substantial portions of the site, or reproduce our tables or datasets wholesale, without permission. Photographs on this site are licensed stock and are not ours to sublicense.
Product names, model numbers and brand names belong to their respective owners and are used here for identification only. No manufacturer endorses this site.
Housekeeping
Changes and contact
We may update these terms. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated modified date, and continuing to use the site after a change means accepting it.
